Midnight Serenade
There is no sleep when there is hunger,
and no rest when there is pain.
There is no quietude amidst this thunder,
and no shelter from this driving rain.
If I behold you my heart is tormented,
if not, then my soul, insane.
I think of you, my mind is demented,
and yet you live in the territory of my brain.
Touching you sets my skin on fire,
if I don’t, the cold is my home
I cannot bridle this incessant desire,
and yet would die if you left me, alone.
Only madness can suffer this affliction
and this madness has a hold of me
In your eyes I’m drenched in this addiction
and still pray that I will never be free.
There is no sleep when there is hunger,
though I have tried, and try, in vain.
There is no quietude amidst this thunder,
and the thunder roars til we meet again.
